- image processor 132 may include one or more masks that may include but are not limited to, a happy mask 152 , a stressed mask 154 , an angry mask 156 , and/or a sad mask 158 .
- image processor 132 selects the appropriate mask 152 , 154 , 156 , 158 and applies the selected mask to the retrieved personal image to morph the expression of the mood-neutral personal image.
- the expression of the resulting mood-specific personal image corresponds to the received mood data. It will be appreciated that the resulting personal image may be a still image or an animated image.
- system processor 130 may include a selection circuit 134 .
- memory 106 (or a network server) stores a set of personal images for each of one or more users. Each image in a given set of personal images provides an image of the associated user with a specific facial expression that corresponds to a specific mood. Therefore, based on the supplied mood data, selection circuit 134 may select a personal image from a set of personal images corresponding to the near-end user to generate the desired mood-specific personal image. As with the modified personal image, the selected personal image may be a still image or an animated image
